I remember that night
You fell asleep under the truck when it got late
In the morning When I pulled out to look for you thank God I rolled out straight

Nothing was ever too much
Doing flips off the roof
It's like you were cheating death left and right, but you still wanted proof

I was thinking about you just yesterday
How you were gonna stop by on your way
I had some things that I wanted to talk you about
I had some things that I wanted to say

But now I stand here in your flannel shirt
Your mom couldn't bear to give it to goodwill
It's not even cold out but I wear it still
You were always there when we hit the wall
Now no one's gonna break our fall

Break our fall
Break our fall
Break our fall
Now no one's gonna break our fall

We laughed until we got drunk, we drank until we fight
Then we'd laugh again over my fat lip, while you were icing your eye

But you got behind the needle, chasing the next high
And then you managed to escape it
You got that job and you married your wife

I was thinking about you just yesterday
How you were gonna stop by on your way
I had some things that I wanted to talk to you about
I had some things that I wanted to say

But now I stand here in your flannel shirt
Your mom couldn't bear to give it to goodwill
It's not even cold but I wear it still
You were always there when we hit the wall
Now no one's gonna break our fall
Break our fall, break our fall
Break our fall
Now no one's gonna break our fall

I'll see you when I see you
Oh this may be
But I won't love you when I love you
No that will always stay the same
I won't feel you when I feel you
'Cause I feel you every day
But I'll see you when I see you

He went to Hyannis to let go of Alice for the third and final time
I asked him if it worked when he got back, he said he didn't have the time

The time to tell me anything or the time to let her go
But I guess it wasn't a good time to press
So I guess I'll never know, I'll never know

On the way back looking straight ahead, we were hypnotized by the road
Saw the coins on the dashboard truck and decide that they could float

In the air I looked down at the time, and mistook it for the radio
I thought about the little choices we made along
And the song played on as if it didn't know

May we all be forsaken:
Like the soldier trying to leave, the mother trying to sleep

May we all be mistaken:
About our current state, about the current of hate

Bleeding on and on and on to sell our soul
Asked me why I was crying, said I stubbed my toe
And I wanted to blame the roots of the trees
For pushing up the concrete but now I know

In the air I looked down at the time
And mistook it for the radio
I thought about the little choices we made along
And the song played on as if it didn't know

May we all be forsaken:
Like the black man trying to breathe
Or the woman that's never believed

May we all be mistaken:
About our current state, about the current of hate
Bleeding on and on and on and sell our soul
Ask me why I was crying, said I stubbed my toe
And I wanted to blame the roots of the trees
For pushing up the concrete but now I know

May we all be forsaken:
Like the soldier trying to leave, the mother trying to sleep
May we all be mistaken:
About our current state, about the current of hate
May we all be forsaken:
Like the black man trying to breathe, or the woman that's never believed
May we all be mistaken:
About our current state, about the current of hate

Oh, do you know there's a place you can go
It's a place that is weathered and worn
But you can't stay there long
Like the plow and the stone
But you can wait if you'd like to be born

Born to a dark heaven on earth
Plagued by man's greed and sorrow, sorrow and hurt
Born also to the beauty of tomorrow
Leading us back to the dirt

The old oak tree watches us like we were bees
Just flitting and frittering in the golden
Everybody knows we all died yesterday
And the day after that we were born

Born to a dark heaven on earth
Plagued by man's greed and sorrow, sorrow and hurt
Born also to the beauty of tomorrow
Leading us back to the dirt

I worry my mind, I worry my mind
I worry my mind 'til I lose all the time

Born to a dark heaven on earth
Plagued by man's greed and sorrow, sorrow and hurt
Born also to the beauty of tomorrow
Leading us back to the dirt

Leading us back to the dirt
Leading us back to the dirt
